1 not checkable as stated how the 1 claim stands · each chip opens the sources

1 prediction · 1 disclosure · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertions are the 1 claim: statements the public record can support or contradict. 0 are resolved, and 1 names no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

Prediction Not checkable as stated

Friar: OpenAI expects each successive frontier model to scale 10x

“But I think there is no denying that you are, we're on a scaling law right now where orders of magnitude matter. The next model is going to be an order of magnitude bigger and the next one on and on. And so that does make it very capital intensive.”

Disclosure

Friar: OpenAI's capital spending prioritizes compute first, then top talent

“It's compute first and it's not cheap. It's great talent second. And then of course it's all the normal operating expenses of a more traditional company.”
